Voting Reminder

On my phone came a reminder That today’s Election Day, With a list of things to do to keep Anxiety at bay. See some art at a museum, Find a park to soothe your soul, Have a meal at some new restaurant - Diversion is the goal. Go to church if that’s your calling; Do some shopping if it’s not. Read a book or try some exercise - They both can help a lot. At the bottom of the message, Which reminded me to vote, After all of the suggestions Came a most surprising note: “If you’re feeling suicidal, Here’s a number you can call.” When I think of this election, That reminder says it all.

Oh my goodness Ilene, we get a polling card and no phone reminder to get us to vote, I guess there will be some very depressed folk if their chosen candidate doesn't get elected but to consider suicide takes electioneering to a whole new level:-( hugs Jan xx
